The regulations of Drosophila phototransduction

J Neurogenet. 2012 Jun;26(2):144-50. doi: 10.3109/01677063.2011.650253. Epub 2012 Mar 15.

Abstract

This is the first of two reviews that include some of the studies that we, members of the Pak lab and collaborators, carried out from 1998 to 2010 on the functional and physical interactions among several Drosophila phototransduction components. The report includes our studies on the regulations and/or the functions of arrestin II (Arr2), norpA (PLC), inactivation no afterpotential D (INAD), transient receptor potential (TRP), TRP-like (TRPL), inactivation no afterpotential E (INAE), and Porin.
